1. POWER SWITCH
To turn the equalizer ON or OFF, press the upper or lower portion of this button.
CAUTION: Always turn on your equalizer BEFORE your power amplifiers are turned on, and always turn off your equalizer
AFTER your power amplifiers have been turned off.
2. FILTER LEVEL CONTROLS
Each of these sliders controls the output level of each of the 15 bandpass filters.
Center detent position is grounded for guaranteed flat response.
3. FILTER RANGE SWITCH AND INDICATORS
The gain range of the filter sliders is switchable (as a group) from
+/-
6dB to
+/-
12dB for maximum boost/cut capability. At
6dB the green LED will illuminate and at 12dB the yellow LED will illuminate.
4. BY PASS SWITCH AND INDICATOR
When the red LED is illuminated, this indicates that the unit or channel is in the bypass mode. Signal is routed directly from
the input to the output without passing through any circuit (often referred to as “hard-wire bypass”). Use this switch to
compare equalized and unequalized material, or to bypass the EQ section in the event of power loss or unit failure.
5. OVERLOAD INDICATOR
This red LED illuminates if any section of the equalizer is within 5dB of clipping.
Occasional blinking of this LED is acceptable, but if it remains on more than intermittently you should turn down either the
equalizer’s level controls or reduce the output level of the preceding component to avoid audible distortion.
7. LEVEL CONTROL
This controls the level of signal coming into the instrument. Turn this control down if the OVERLOAD LED illuminates
steadily (meaning too strong on input signal).
Unity gain can be set by turning this knob to its center detent position.
